Since news seems to be slowing down, I thought I would post a non-IT related bit of news that may get you chatting...
Just spotted this on Yahoo ('http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20050301/us_nm/people_gates_dc'), it appears that Mr Gates may become a Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

Yay, go billy! Money gets you places.
He might get a promotion to Knight Commander, but he'll never be a Great Warrior as his ancestors were...

now he can fulfill his Dungeon and Dragons wishes. Becoming a real Knight!
Why does the title "Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire" remind me of "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"?
Why does Bill Gates even qualify for one of these? He's not a British Subject.

Now, now. We all know that only by being a member of PGD can to obtain such rank and titles as a Word Lord or even the all mighty Yottabyte HighLord. ;)
Everyone else will just have to handle being a 6-bit Knight :P
